So, there are a lot of alcoholics in our town that walk around and sit in public locations and yell at people passing by. They come out especially during the summer and often frequent the same parks and places that other people go to.
The issue is that they always act obnoxiously. Middle-aged men and women drunk out of their minds who argue among themselves or yell at people who look at them.
So, my GF and I was up town and sat down in a park (we were going out to eat, but it was such a nice summer evening we decided to sit down and throw some bread to the ducks) so when we're sitting there one of these 50+ guys in really dirty jeans and a pretty disgusting brown stained shirt comes walking past and approaches my girlfriend and asks "how much she charges for a fuck".
At first I didn't really hear what he was saying (because he was slurring quite badly) but then he repeated himself and I got up and told him (in my military voice) that he best shut up and back off or I'd punch him in the face. He started murmuring something (sounded like an insult) and I used my leg to kind of push him away (not really kick, just push), and he stumbled (very easily) and fell over into the grass, after which we left in a hurry from there. I turned over my shoulder every once in awhile, and the dude really struggled to get up and swore a lot to himself.
My GF then told me that guy had bothered her (and another girl) before and that she has seen him done that in stores and told girls they were whores and stuff, almost always drunkfaced.
I realize that had this guy not fallen over so easily, adrenaline would probably have taken me into a bad place (I am really defensive when it comes to people or pets I care for). But what would you have done?

The same and it has nothing to do with bravado or "acting hard" - when it comes to family, nothing gets in the way and if I feel for one second that my wife or my sister or my brother are in danger from someone? Then absolutely I will react, physically if need be, it's happened in the past too. Look at this way; you pushed the drunk out of the way before the situation became increasingly dangerous, such as a real physical altercation between him and your girlfriend - then you walked away. I'd say you did the right thing.
Well if he had any money, like a 100$, I would have told the GF to lie down and close her eyes.... just kidding
Depends on the girl I guess, if she's the sort that gets turned on by overprotective violence I would have turned that guy into a blood stain. But that's just me.
I hated that scene I could deal with the rest of the ultra-violence, the rest of the film was amazing, but the pointless murder of the old homeless guy really bugged me
I did restrain myself. After I apparently walked in such a high pace my GF asked me if I got an adrenaline high or something. It's funny how the body reacts in such situations. I mean, there probably never was any danger at all, but still.
A part of me realizes that had there been any cops present, they probably would've been in the right to charge me, and I think a lot of people just would've walked away.
These things happen to me so seldom anymore that I've almost forgotten how such adrenaline kicks feel. The guy in question is trash, I don't think he's homeless though. I think he's just one among a lot of drunks that keep to themselves until summer comes.
But why didn't you inform the authorities? Or why doesn't anyone do that since it's sounds like that place is a gathering for drunkards for quite some time. Isn't that illegal; a group of people being wasted and hanging out in public places? Not to mention the fact that some of these shitheads pick on people, and apparently can get pretty aggressive verbally or physically.
You did good by just giving him a front kick, I'd prolly wouldn't be able to control myself like that if that happened to me and my GF.
Tho one thing you should do: Report it and if able even press charges. It can go bad rather fast with persons like that and you don't want to read about a rape or anything without doing something.
And even if police is lazy, at least you done your part of reporting it.

Should be pretty obvious what my opinion or regard for "the authorities" is. They are more likely to put me in jail than do anything about the drunkard.
Hehe it's not easy to say "I would have.." unless you're actually experiencing this kind of encounters. It really depends on the mood, nature and level of aggressiveness of the guy in question.
I would have probably ignored the drunktard and moved somewhere else avoiding physical contact (assuming that he wasn't too close), but I'm not sure about that. I can be very protective too, and it's hard to manage that.
Your reaction was completely understandable Fisk and it was surely the most effective way to deal with such people, since they're so wasted that once they're down, they stay there
I'm like ixi, I have enough physical interaction with people at work, don't need it off duty. All I need is to push one drunk fucker, him falling and hitting his head and boom, life ruined. Plus I feel bad for homeless people or people with mental disability... Even drunk people I always imagine they would probably be decent people if sober and that if I was drunk and acting dumb unintentionally then I I wouldn't my ass handed to me.
This is all depending on the drunk guys action though, if he is physically harming or hurting someone that's different. I'm very over protective but the job and the lawsuits I have seen have taken the impulsive actions out of me.
Told him he could have my wife for free, but that I dont want her back

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
maybe im a litle nervous, but if someone told my wife "how much for a fuck" , and i standing right there, well, i guess he had to pick is teeths from the floor right in the second.
latins usually take honor in one of the important things in life.

I hope she doesn't encounter him, again! And in case she does, I hope there's already a plan prepared.
I remember once having a problem with a rather large, African-American gentleman. He sauntered up to my car as I was extracating myself from the driver's seat and exclaimed, "GIB ME A DOLLA!" Startled, and having not fully understood what he had said, I immediately turned around and said, "Do what now?" He then, rather menacingly, approached me and responded, "GIB ME...A...DOLLA!" Then, out of sheer happenstance, a woman walked by. He looked her up and down, then licked his lips right before uttering, "Man, I'd sure like to get on top of that until she stops screaming." She turned around, waltzed right up to him, kicked him in the shin, then once he fell to the ground, she punched him in the face. This was right before a police officer, who was nearby and had heard him yelling at me, rounded the corner in to the parking lot. When the cop approached and asked what happened, she said that I had felled this beastly man in her honor. The officer asked if that was correct and, begrudgingly, I told him no (begrudgingly because I wanted to FHerITB), and that the woman was merely standing up for herself. He placed the woman under arrest for physical assault and obstruction (or so he kept saying), and I went about my day, non-plussed at the whole situation. I think I even distinctly remember whistling while I walked to my destination...

Thanks for the idea Lutz!
I'd say you did the right thing. Nothing happened, nothing escalated. And it sounds like neither of you 2 were in much real danger. Sometimes it takes more guts to walk away with the adrenaline pumping.

I'll have to argue against taking the "high" road.
Yeah, it's noble and shit. But I personally value my pride too much, and I'd sooner walk home with a bruise, rather than feeling not worth of my woman.
